A mass shooting occurred at a Walmart store in El Paso, Texas, United States, on the morning of August 3, 2019.
A lone gunman killed 22 people and injured 24 others.[2][3][4][5][6]
The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) is investigating the shooting as an act of domestic terrorism and a possible hate crime.[7][8]
Patrick Wood Crusius, age 21, was arrested shortly after the shooting began and was charged with capital murder.[9] Police believe that the suspect published a white nationalist, anti-immigrant manifesto on the website 8chan immediately before the attack.
The post cites inspiration from the Christchurch mosque shootings and refers to the white genocide conspiracy theory.[10][11][12][13]
With 22 fatalities, it was the third-deadliest mass shooting in Texas history, and the seventh-deadliest in modern U.S. history.
At the time of the shooting, it was also the deadliest mass shooting in the United States in 2019, and the deadliest in the United States since the Sutherland Springs church shooting in Texas on November 5, 2017.[14]
